February 7, 2020

Revenues upbeat but one-offs impact margins…

Revenues grew 9.1% YoY to | 4371 crore (I-direct estimate: | 4310 crore)

mainly due to 12.1% YoY growth in the domestic market to | 1777 crore (I-

direct estimate: | 1564.3 crore). US revenues grew 11.4% YoY to | 946 crore

(I-direct estimate: | 996 crore). EBITDA margins declined 31 bps, 334 bps

YoY, QoQ, respectively, to 17.3% (I-direct estimate: 20.5%) due to drop in

gross margin (62.4% vs. 63.5% in Q3FY19). EBITDA grew 7.2% YoY to

| 758.3 crore (I-direct estimate: | 883.5 crore). PAT grew 5.7% YoY to | 351

crore (I-direct estimate: | 444.7 crore), in line with operational performance.

Product launches, front-end shift key for formulation exports

Formulation exports constitute ~55% of FY19 revenues. The company is

focusing on front-end model, especially for the US along with a gradual shift

from loss making HIV and other tenders to more lucrative respiratory and

other opportunities in the US and EU. We expect export formulation sales to

grow at 8% CAGR to | 11319 crore in FY19-22E. Key drivers will be a launch

of inhalers and other products in the developed markets.

Indian formulations growth backed by new launches

With ~5% market share, Cipla is the third largest player in the domestic

formulations market. The acute, chronic and sub-chronic revenues for the

company are at 36%, 60% and 4%, respectively. Domestic formulations

comprise ~38% of total FY19 revenues. It commands ~20% market share

in the respiratory segment. We expect domestic formulations to grow at 8%

CAGR in FY19-22E to | 7955 crore driven by improved productivity of the

newly inducted field force and product launches.

Valuation & Outlook

Key takeaway from Q3 numbers were restoration of growth trajectory in the

domestic formulations, decent US growth but subdued margins. In its quest

for improving focus the company has restructured its total business into four

verticals namely, One-India, South Africa & EMs, US generics & specialty and

Lung leadership. While India focus will be on branded (Bx) and trade

generics (Tx), the US focus will be on specialty including hospitals and value

accretive generics. On the Africa front, the company continues to rebase its

business model towards private business in the backdrop shrinking tender

opportunities. Another key aspect to watch would be recalibration of R&D.

Across the board transformation from tenderised model to private model in

the exports market and towards rapid consumerisation of important Tx and

Bx in India is likely to continue for some time and this may have some

implications on the quarterly performances. We arrive at a target price of

| 490 based on 18x FY22E EPS | 27.3.

Company Background

Formed by Dr KA Hamied way back in 1935, Cipla is one of the oldest

ventures set up by an Indian in the pre-independence era. With 34

manufacturing facilities spread over seven different locations, Cipla has a

gamut of therapeutic offerings ranging from simple anti-infectives to

complex oncology products. The product basket includes ~2000+ products

encompassing almost all therapies and over 40 dosage forms. The facilities

have been approved by various agencies such as the USFDA, WHO-Geneva,

MHRA-UK, TGA-Australia, SUKL-Slovak Republic, APVMA-Australia, MCC-

South Africa, PIC-Germany, Danish Medical Agency, Anvisa-Brazil,

INVIMAColombia, NDA-Uganda, Department of Health-Canada and MOH-

Saudi Arabia, among others. So far, the company has not faced any cGMP

issues or import alerts from any regulatory authorities.

Cipla’s business model focuses on having marketing partnerships with local

companies across the globe. Most partners are large generic players in

developed countries. The company has partnership deals with ~22 partners

in the US and ~65 in Europe. Cipla has also formed strategic alliances for

product development, registration and distribution of its products. For non-

regulated markets, the company has maintained long-standing relationships

with non-government organisations and institutions globally. However,

recent JVs and buying out front-end companies stakes in majority of its

markets shows Cipla’s clear intension to shifting its partnership model to

own front-end model in almost all markets including the US.

Exports constitute around ~59% of total sales. The company exports both

APIs and formulations to more than 170 countries including advanced

regions such as the US and Europe. Cipla derives 21% of its export revenues

from US followed by 13% from South Africa and 17% from RoW markets.

On the product filing front, Cipla has filed 253 ANDAs with the USFDA

cumulatively (FY19). The company spends 7-8% of revenues on R&D.

The company acquired two US-based companies, InvaGen Pharmaceuticals

and Exelan Pharmaceuticals. InvaGen Pharma has 40 approved ANDAs, 32

marketed products, and 30 pipeline products for which it expects to get

approvals over the next four years. The above pipeline also includes five

FTFs, which represent a market size of ~$8 billion in revenue by 2018. The

transaction is valued at US$550 million and is an all-cash deal. Combined

revenues of these two companies in CY14 were ~US$200 million (~US$225

million TTM June 2015) with EBITDA margins of ~25%. Its revenue grew at

~20% CAGR over the last three years.

In the domestic market, Cipla remains among the top five players, thanks to

a gamut of product offerings, which covers almost all therapies built on a

network of ~7500 medical representatives (MRs) covering a doctor base of

~5,00,000. As per MAT March 2019 AIOCD ranking, Cipla ranked third with

a market share of 4.73%. Breaking it down further, its ranking in chronic

therapies was at 2nd

.

Respiratory therapy accounts for ~20% of Cipla’s turnover. The company

introduced Salbutamol tablets in 1976 and Salbutamol inhaler in 1978 for

the first time in India. Since then, Cipla has consistently introduced new

products for asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and

allergic rhinitis (AR). More recently, the company did the same in other

diseases such as pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), lung cancer and

idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).
